Customer Question

I have been asked to help police with an enquiry into something that happened 20 years ago, an old aquaintence was sexually abused and the police want to speak to me (although not urgently, i gave them my number over a week ago and they have just emailed to say they will try to call later in the week.) I think the reason they have been in touch is because I knew about the incident as I worked in a doctor surgery and I saw it in his notes. I really can't remember any details but I am very nervous about speaking to them as the victim felt at the time that I was indiscrete with the information, he accused me of discussing it with his girlfriend. I gather (from his now ex girlfriend) that he has brought allegations against the man who abused him. I haven't seen the victim for years, do you think they just want me as a witness or could I be in trouble over the data breach? If I was just being called as a witness could I incriminate myself if I say anything about his medical notes. I really would like to help bring the person to justice but I feel very nervous.
